their employees in a private club or organization which bars, restricts 
or limits its membership on the basis of race, color, sex, religion, or 
national origin constitutes a violation of Executive Order 11246 except 
where the contractor can provide evidence that such restrictions or 
limitations do not abridge the promotional opportunities, status, 
compensation or other terms and conditions of employment of those of its 
employees barred from membership because of their race, color, religion, 
sex, or national origin. OFCCP shall provide the contractor with the 
opportunity to present evidence in defense of its actions.
    (b) The contractor has the responsibility of determining whether the 
club or organization restricts membership on the basis of race, color, 
religion, sex, or national origin. The contractor may make separate 
determinations for different chapters of an organization, and where it 
does so, may limit any necessary corrective action to the particular 
chapters which observe discriminatory membership policies and practices.
